Good thread for general THM/BLM skill bar - rotations

Doing Fire I until 100mp will allow you to cast Bliz III, but you'll be stuck waiting before you can re-apply Thunder II. (DPS Loss)
Starting with Thunder for Mass Pulls is really pointless. (DPS Loss)
Using X-Ether is silly, when Mega-Ether gives you MP to cast Flare again and has a lot shorter CD. (DPS Loss, over a longer period)

1. no you wont.
I always wait till fire lands on the target, so I can use the free fire3 proc when it activates. that means Thunder always end before I finish casting Blizzard 3.
there's no dps loss.
if you have to wait because thunder is still active , you can always throw in a scathe. more mp gain from UI, and no dps loss.

2. you can call it dps loss ( on what, thunder 2 is faster than any other spell you cast, and grants you thunder 3 procs), I call it "more chance to get procs"==more dps. also, it lets the tank take aggro on everything, so less chance you lose aggro because you spam everything.
